Read the suggestions for making an English speech.      a. Looking at and talking to one person in the audience (观众) helps keep you natural, but it feels foolish talking to only one person. Speak to that person as long as 15 seconds and then change another one.      b. The audience have a hard time understanding what they hear. They need your help. Slow down, pause(停顿) and guide the audience through your talk. Remember that you should help the audience understand what you are saying.      c. Make your voice a little lower than normal. Listeners like to listen to a relatively(相对) deep voice.       d. When you talk, try to be as natural as possible. Don't try to memorize your words and read or r ecite(背诵) them to your audience. You can use short notes to help you remember the important points.      e. You should know you and most of the people you talk to are different in many ways. Some of them may not know what you are talking about. Then speak to them on their terms and in their languages.      f. Concentrate on what you want to say. If you are always paying attention to gestures (手势), you will feel uncomfortable.      g. It's true that there are some differences between American English and British English, but they'll not cause much difficulty for listeners, so just speak the way you're used to.
